How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewPlenty of space for a big family.
TV remote did not work due to no batteries. No batteries left anywhere for it either. Owner wasn’t helpful when we texted him/her about it. No curtain in the window shower, allowing your neighbors to watch you showering! We had to cover it with a cardboard. No locks on gates leading into the back yard, allowing anyone to come in. Also, back sliding door leading INTO the house, won’t lock. Will not recommend for women traveling alone.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Carla. I’m sorry we fell short and will address these concerns to improve our house for future guests. As for no response for some reason guests are not receiving my messages through the app but they do reach out to me through my phone number if they have questions or concerns and the the door has been resolved I have been trying to escalate that concern to the repair man and he finally took care of it. Your insights are appreciated, and I hope we can provide a better experience next time.

Verified reviewThe property was in a very poor condition when we arrived. We found two used condoms in a drawer, a dead cockroach inside the house, and a dishwasher full of dirty dishes with pans still coated in leftover food. The whirlpool was dirty and not usable at all. One of the outdoor areas was so dirty that we could not sit there. Inside the house, there was a lot of dust under the beds and in the corners. We informed the host immediately and offered to share photos, but we were completely ignored. Instead, we later received a message asking us to leave a positive review, which we found very disappointing.

Verified reviewThe house is conveniently located near the main road, making it easy to access, with a well-maintained paved driveway that adds to the comfort of arrival. Our favorite feature was definitely the hot tub — soaking in the warm water under a breathtaking starry sky created an unforgettable and romantic experience. The host was exceptionally welcoming, always available, and provided prompt and helpful responses to any inquiries. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!
Thank you so much for your support and hope to host you again!
